Meantime, on tho afternoon Of the Goth,
Magruder again attacked tho Federal forces

quite denuded of troops

on the left, but Heintzelman simply withdrew

for SO many troops, so be destroyed the stores

front of it was covered with a sloping iron
roof, from which shots ratified harmlessly off.
The sides were protected with armor plate,
over which was another covering of heavy
wood.
Just before sunset Magruder's Confederates
made a rush for the Union forces at Savage
station. The LAND Merrimac" was used
with great effect. They were met with a
heavy fire from TIE Union line. Then for
half an hour there was nothing but roar and
smoke and deadly fire. At the end of that
time the Confederate lines were broken.
They gave way, fell back and left the road to
White Oak swamp open for the Federal re-
treat to the James The retreat was con-

"@S' DAp'eSN ~ VoSOh' or the war. AT Glen-
dale. June 30, the first and heaviest blow OF tho
Confederates fell with crushing force upon
Mccall. Col Simmons met the attack brayely,
and drove the Confederates back into the woods.
Suddenly they turned, and pursued became purs
suers, There was frightful slaughter, In which
Col Simmons was MORALLY wounded Presently
the Confedcrates made charge IN wedge shape
They came down upon Randol's battery with
irresistible fury yelling like wild Indians Noth1
ing could withstand them, with men swarminR
under, over and around the guns and cutting loose
the horses Gen. Kearney said afterward that artl-
lery was out OF the question. Finally McCall's line
broke, and he was driven TO the rear, losingfspe
Of the guns. Kearney came TO the rescuet Iec
McCall's defeat, and formed two lines IN sstEo
woods. The Confederates charged on the guns
pulsed each time Gen. Mccall, IN trying to
rally his men, about dusk, was taken prisoner. AT
Richmond he saw one Of his brigade generals,
Reynolds, captured at Gaines Min.
Fresh troops coming from White Oak Swamp
toward evening finished the fight and drove the
Confederates back, and with the darkness the
battle OF Glendale ended. At another point IN
the Federal line Hunts artillery and Gen. Sykes
troops repulsed Confederate attack, at Malvern
Hill, making the third for that bloody June 30.
Gen. Meade was dangerously wounded that day.
The Federal line of retreat had not been cut in

Oak Grove, in which the Onion forces were
victorious, aud pichets from Hcintzelnan's
and Summers corps were posted within four
miles Of Richmond
The generalship OF Gems. Lee and Stone
wall jackson at this time commands admira-
ton. After finishing bis movements In the
Shenandoah Valley, jackson wrote TO John
ston this significant letter, dated june @:
"Should my command be required at Rich
mond, can DO at Mechanics Run depot, on
the Central railroad, the second days march,
Lee in command when the letter was re-
ceived, wrote him back that II he could leave
the valley, and ''could deceive the enemy" so
as TO make him believe he was still In the
Shenandoah region, to come on.
The two generals hit on the plan OF appar-
emily sending re-enfoTcements from Richmond
TO the Shenandoah, to jackson, giving the
impression that Jackson still meditated mis-
chief In the valley. In reality, he was to
meet the re-enforcements and hurry back with
them to Richmond. Lawton's and Writings
commands were marched out of Richmond
with flourish, care being taken that the
Federals should be aware of IL. At Harris
burg Jackson met them June II, and oil
started back to Richmond. The plan was o
complete success, and 1t was this trick which
for the third time prevented Mcdowell from
joining the army Of the Potomac.
II is to be noted that Secretary Stanton
only, of all the Federal managers, was not de-
ceiyed by the ruse, but declared that Jack
sons real movement was toward Richmond
Everybody was undeceived when, June 20,
Mcclellan hastily telegraphed that his picketi
were being driven in north OF the Chicka
hominy.
Until then, day after day, 1t had been telS
graphed to Washington, "An quiet Ii
the army OF tho Potomac" So bent on
having additions to his army had Nc
Clellan been that June 10 he had tele-
graphed Secretary Stanton, advising
that a considerable force DO detached from
Hallecks western department and sent to
him. Long before this, early in March, Nc
Clellan had been relieved from duty as CON-
mander Of all the armies of the United States,
and made commander only Of the army Of
the Potomac. This was done, it was clained
by President Lincoln, in order that the
general might give all his time to the war in
Virginia. Mcclellan regarded it as a humiliar
ton, and says: "The order proved to be Ole
of the steps taken to tie my hands Ia order to
secure the failure Of the approaching cam
paign." He believed that 1t emanated from
Secretary Stanton, and was issued out OF
spite.
There was at that time no commander IN
chief Of all the armies There were three In
dependent departments with Mcclellan in
the east or Potomac department, Fremont In
the central ono called the mountain danart-
ment, and IIalleck over that west of the
Mississippi, called the department of the
Mississippi.
From the time he made the brilliant cavalry
dash around the army OF the Potomac till the
